GAUTHIER

This guide to Gauthier, an art deco quarter in Casablanca, follows how a district laid out in the 1920s for European settlers and wealthy Moroccans has quietly kept its bones while everything inside them turned over, pharmacies becoming law offices becoming cafes, all behind the same wrought-iron balconies and tiled stairwells. It also traces a private mansion built here in the 1930s that sat quietly for decades until a foundation bought it in the late 1990s and spent two years reworking its rooms. Look up at the cornices and ironwork as you walk toward Boulevard Brahim Roudani.
